Real love still happens sometimes. It's not just something we make up when you're nine. I have to believe that. You do too.

So don't you worry your pretty little mind because people throw rocks at things that shine. [Ours]

Appreciate what you have while you have it and the beauty in what’s there right now and try to preserve it for tomorrow.

For me, writing a song, I sit down and the process doesn't really involve me thinking about the demo-graphic of people I'm trying to hit or who I want to be able to relate to the song or what genre of music it falls under.

Be good to people. Be good to every single person you come into contact with. My best friends are great musicians. But more than that, they're great people.

I write songs that are like diary entries. I have to do it in order to feel sane.

You'll always know more in the future than you know now.
